Sandra day O' Connor came to the classroom and spoke to us about how it was on the supreme court. We were taped on film while playing games on iCivics. Justice Sandra Day O' Connor let us ask her questions about the Supreme Court and how it was like in the supreme court.

We learned about the Supreme Court and that she was the first woman to ever be on the Supreme Court. We also know that she grew up on a farm. We felt inspired by the fact that a very successful woman was talking to us about working in the Supreme Court. The fact that she had many bodyguards around her made us understand how important she was. Lastly, she looked joyful to be in the presence of many children.

We learned that our goals may change for the better and that nothing can stop us from achieving them.
